       I’m pretty sure this subhuman is referring to Rome as “the
       ancient west,” as it is typical of their kind to try and claim
       the Romans as their own, despite their Turanian ancestors being
       Rome’s greatest enemies (also please show me where Romans called
       themselves “Westerners”).
       But compare Roman technology, such as cement and aqueducts,
       which made life easier and simpler for the populace, to western
       machinery, such as planes, nuclear power, and plastic, which
       have only made life more complex and dangerous for everyone. I
       don’t have to fear Roman cement in my drinking water, but I do
       have to worry about micro-plastics, chemical fertilisers and
       pesticides.

       Our enemy Duchesne returns again:
  HTML https://www.eurocanadians.ca/2022/11/the-50-greatest-philosophers-are-all-european-men.html
       Sure, if you judge by Western standards.
       [quote]It could be that the most important historical question
       that points to a monumental contrast between the West and the
       Rest is the following: why did Western civilization produce all
       the greatest philosophers in history? [/quote]
       Because Westerners have been the ones judging which philosophers
       are the greatest, as Duchesne himself then proceeds to
       explicitly tell us (while failing to see any problem with this):
       [quote]This conviction that philosophy was almost entirely a
       Western phenomenon was held by historians of philosophy from
       every school of thought until recently. The neo-Kantian Wilhelm
       Windelband, believing that philosophy concerns the “independent
       and self-conscious work of intelligence which seeks knowledge
       methodically for its own sake,” began his two volume classic, A
       History of Philosophy, published in 1892, with the ancient
       Greeks, without mentioning a single non-Western philosopher.
       Windelband believed that “the history of philosophy is the
       process in which European humanity has embodies in scientific
       conceptions its views of the world and its judgments of life”
       (p. 9). The historicist and existentialist Julián Marías, in his
       Historia de la Filosofía (1941), which went through countless
       editions, and was translated into English, also starts with the
       Pre-Socratics and ends with José Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955)
       without a word about a non-Western thinker
       ...
       The liberal minded Will Durant, in his popular book, The Story
       of Philosophy: The Lives and Opinions of the Greater
       Philosophers (1926), profiles only Western philosophers. In a
       “Preface to the Second Edition”, written in 1962, we see the
       first inklings of multiculturalism, however, as Durant faults
       his book for leaving out “Chinese and Hindu philosophy”, even
       though he adds that Chinese philosophers were “averse to
       epistemology” or to inquiries into the nature of knowledge and
       how it is acquired. The analytical-empiricist philosopher
       Bertrand Russell, in his widely known book, History of Western
       Philosophy (1945), which was cited as one of the books that won
       him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950, took it for granted
       that the history of philosophy should be about Western
       philosophers. Philosophy began with the Pre-Socratics because it
       is only then that we see speculations on the nature of things
       with “appeals to human reason rather than to authority, whether
       that of tradition or that of revelation”. Russell offered a
       chapter on “Mohammedan Culture and Philosophy” only to the
       extent that Muslims wrote commentaries on Aristotle. The
       Catholic philosopher, Frederick Copleston, in his magisterial
       work, A History of Philosophy, published in nine volumes between
       1946 and 1975, began with Greece and stayed in Europe, including
       a volume on Russian philosophy, right to the end.
       This Western-centric attitude was unquestioned until recent
       times. It was the typical perspective of texts for university
       students. Konstantin Kolenda’s Philosophy’s Journey: A
       Historical Introduction (1974) says that it was the ancient
       Greeks who “were able to think through to new, unorthodox
       questions.” “Mythical accounts about gods and about the world…do
       not necessarily concern themselves with the question of truth.
       Myth is something that is told and need not call for critical
       scrutiny, examination, justification. The idea of possibly
       discovering the true nature of reality behind the multiplicity
       of appearances and behind conflicting opinions is a most
       original and revolutionary idea in the intellectual history of
       man” (p. 5). It is not only that the ancient Greeks posed
       critical questions — “Is there some substance or some basic
       stuff out of which everything is made?” – but that their answers
       consisted of “reasoned” arguments. Not a single Eastern
       philosopher is included in Kolenda’s book.
       In 1991, Norman Melchert published The Great Conversation: A
       Historical Introduction to Philosophy, in which he tells
       students that the value of philosophy is that it teaches you “to
       believe for good reasons”. Opinions are as good as the reasons
       behind them. “That’s what philosophy is”: teaching students how
       to think “clearly and rationally”. Every philosopher in
       Melchert’s “great conversation” is Western.
       ...
       The Great Philosophers, a 1987 BBC television series presented
       by Bryan Magee, which was made available in a book of the same
       name, only discusses Western philosophers in its 15 episodes,
       beginning with Socrates and ending with Bertrand Russell and
       Ludwig Wittgenstein.[/quote]
       See? Duchesne, however, does not see; instead, he genuinely
       thinks the above is evidence supporting his claim:
       [quote]This is a remarkable statistical fact. It needs to be
       emphasized this is not a comparison of the West against three or
       two other civilizations, but a competition of the West versus
       the Rest. Aside from the Muslim, Chinese, and perhaps the Indian
       world, no other culture in the world, not the Mayas, not the
       Aztecs, not the Khmer Rouge Cambodians, not the Tibetans, not
       the Aksum civilization, not the Egyptians, not the Assyrians,
       not the Bantus, not the Babylonians, not the Japanese, not the
       Koreans, NO other culture in the world, produced any great
       philosopher. Let it be repeated: this is not a list based on
       arbitrary, idiosyncratic, purely personal, or politicized
       assumptions. It is based on solid, widely recognized histories
       of philosophies.[/quote]
       Widely recognized by which civilization? Duh!
       [quote]    Europeans 80.5 = 80.5%
       Jews 9.5 = 9.5%
       Chinese 7 = 7%
       Muslims 3 = 3%
       If we add Jews to the European list, insofar as they were all
       educated in Europe, then the Western score is 90 = 90%.[/quote]
       I agree with adding Jews to the "European" list, of course.
       [quote]The fact that Indian philosophy can’t be divorced from
       India’s major religious traditions, or was never conceived as a
       separate intellectual pursuit, explains why I could not include
       Indian philosophers
       ...
       Sue Hamilton, an expert in Indian philosophy, acknowledges that
       “what Westerners call religion and philosophy are combined in
       India, and that its philosophies are correctly referred to as
       soteriologies, or ‘system of salvation’”. The Indian
       philosophical tradition holds that “understanding reality has a
       profound effect on one’s destiny”. The attempt “to understand
       the nature of reality” is a “spiritual undertaking, an activity
       associated with a religious tradition”. The aim of Indian
       philosophy was to escape from consciousness, to obliterate the
       thinking self; and every philosopher, or every philosophical
       outlook, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism, were
       preoccupied with the notion of reincarnation, the process of
       birth and rebirth, the transmigration of souls and the “release”
       of the soul from that process.[/quote]
       So systems of salvation are excluded(!) from what Westerners
       consider to be philosophy? That surely says more about Western
       values than about the quality of Indian philosophers!
       [quote]Nevertheless, Sue Hamilton, as is generally the case with
       Westerners who study Eastern thought, misleads readers with her
       view that Western philosophy “tends to be concerned with
       detailed and technical questions about kinds of logic and
       linguistic analysis” – whereas Indian philosophy is a “spiritual
       undertaking” about “big metaphysical questions” concerning the
       meaning of life and how to live one’s life in order to have an
       effect on one’s destiny.[/quote]
       I would put it even more strongly than Hamilton does. Western
       philosophy views language as fundamentally empowering, as
       opposed to viewing language as fundamentally restrictive (and
       only something we are forced to use for communication due to
       decay of empathy (itself partially caused by reliance on
       language)). This is also why Western philosophers tend to be
       more anthropocentric: in worshipping language, it trivially
       follows that Western philosophers have a higher opinion of
       language-users (ie. humans) compared to non-language-users (ie.
       non-humans). (As I have pointed out in the past, reincarnation
       was a mainstream belief of ancient Greeks, yet amazingly (to
       non-Western eyes) the idea that humans could reincarnate as
       non-humans and vice versa (the most trivially obvious thing in
       non-Western imagination) did not occur as a possibility to them:
       that is how ludicrously anthropocentric they are!) Similarly,
       Western philosophers tend to be dismissive of Original Nobility,
       because, as language-worshippers, they find it hard to accept
       the superiority of a pre-linguistic human (ie. infant):
  HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-false-left/childcare-issues/msg15015/#msg15015
       Continuing:
       [quote]The fact is that Chinese philosophers were accustomed to
       express themselves in the form of aphorisms, apothegms, or
       allusions, and illustrations. The whole book of Lao-tzu consists
       of aphorisms, and most of the chapters of the Chuang-tzu are
       full of allusions and illustrations. This is very obvious. But
       even in writings such as those of Mencius and Hsun Tzu, when
       compared with the philosophical writings of the West, there are
       still too many aphorisms, allusions, and illustrations.[/quote]
       Why do you think this was the case FFS? Answer: they were at
       least trying to partially overcome the limitations of language
       by not using language to crudely approximate an idea, but using
       language merely to describe a scenario that hopefully will cause
       the idea to independently arise in the listener's/reader's mind!
       [quote]it was Aristotle who did the most in ancient times to
       delineate what constitutes a proper philosophical statement
       about what there is and what constitutes a valid form of
       reasoning about why something is so. He invented formal logic, a
       precise language about reality, about what things can be said to
       be substances and the reasons why they are as they are. He
       showed that true philosophical statements are composed of basic
       categories — substance, quantity, quality, relationship, place,
       time — which express the various ways in which being is, and
       that these statements can be formulated to be subject-predicate
       statements. This is just a little particle of what this
       incredible philosopher did.[/quote]
       The following then comes as no surprise:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristotelian_ethics#The_highest_good
       [quote]Aristotle claims that a human's highest functioning must
       include reasoning, being good at what sets humans apart from
       everything else.[/quote]
  HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/ancient-world/antropocentricism-the-most-dangerous-ideology-in-the-world/
       Back to enemy article:
       [quote]Europeans took seriously Zeno’s paradoxes, for they seem
       to suggest that one could reach a logically unacceptable
       conclusion on the basis of sound reasoning from apparently sound
       premises. They wondered whether these paradoxes revealed
       deficiencies in the way we reason, calling for improvements in
       our reasoning powers, a better system of logic and a more
       precise usage of language.[/quote]
       But did they ever suspect that reliance on language itself might
       be the problem? No, because the Western approach to problems
       caused by language is always more language, never an attempt to
       discard language.
       [quote]the Western mind was able to develop methodologies to
       understand texts from different eras and different cultures,
       because this is the only culture that learned how to draw
       ontological distinctions between mind and matter, individual and
       society, the three parts of the soul, and so on, in the course
       of which this mind eventually developed particular
       sciences—physics, chemistry, biology, botany, sociology,
       economics, etc.—to explain different aspects of reality, and
       newly emerging properties, while also realizing that the concept
       of “man in general” is limited by historically determinate
       factors. The prior ability of ancient Greek philosophers to
       discover the distinctiveness of the faculty of the mind, the
       distinction between physis (nature) and nomos (law or custom)
       nurtured a transcendental outlook that allowed Western thinker
       to stand aback from their context and view other cultural
       contexts in their own terms. Therefore, it is not enough to say
       that all knowledge is historically situated, the expression of a
       particular people. If all knowledge is contextual, then all
       knowledge claims are equally valid. We have to ask why the West
       developed all the theories about how knowledge is context-bound,
       and why the West produced all the modern sciences.[/quote]
       Since when was philosophy supposed to be judged by its utility
       to science/knowledge? But Duchesne probably doesn't even notice
       his own screwup that perfectly illustrates the problem with
       Westerners like himself:

       [quote]Anyone who approaches the history of visual arts from an
       impartial perspective—concerned only with aesthetics,
       creativity, and originality—can’t help but realize, as I am
       about to explain in this article, that Western art stands on a
       league of its own. Making this claim goes against the relentless
       promotion of immigrant multiculturalism across the West today,
       which necessarily comes along with the notion that the art of

       [quote]a most peculiar characteristic of Western art: its
       exhibition of a continuous proliferation of highly original
       artists with new artistic styles, new ways of projecting images
       on a flat surface, new conceptions of light, new standards of
       excellence, and new conceptions about nature and man—in contrast
       to a nonwestern world where aesthetic norms barely changed or
       where artists were invariably inclined to follow an established
       convention without breaking new aesthetic paths.[/quote]
       Change for the sake of novelty is frivolous at best,
       attention-seeking at worst, and antithetical to good art either
       way.
       Of course Duchesne disagrees, as does his fellow Westerners on
       whom he relies as the judges of which art is better, which of
       course they will do using Western standards:
       [quote]H.W. Janson’s History of Art, first published in 1962,
       with a sixteenth printing in 1971, which I am using, and
       numerous new editions thereafter, is an encyclopedic treatment
       of the history of art, with millions of copies sold in fifteen
       languages. Janson came from a Lutheran family of Baltic German
       stock. His criterion for choice of great art is “ORIGINALITY.”
       “Uniqueness, novelty, freshness” are the “yardstick of artistic
       greatness.”
       ...
       This criterion underpins Janson’s magisterial book. This book
       has three opening chapters on “The Art of Prehistoric Man,”
       “Egyptian Art,” and “The Ancient Near East.” The rest of the
       book, with the exception of a short chapter on “Islamic Art” and
       a short “Postscript” with the title “The Meeting of East and
       West,” is entirely about Western art. These traditions really
       interest him insofar as they “contributed to the growth of the
       Western artistic tradition” (p. 569). He ignored China, Japan,
       and India until the end because they were not a “vital source of
       inspiration for Western art” except in contemporary times. New
       styles of art, new techniques and schools, was a uniquely
       Western phenomenon.[/quote]
       I agree that Western art involves more novelty. I merely
       interpret this as evidence of Western inferiority.
       [quote]Arnold Hauser (1892-1978) was a Hungarian Marxist with
       Jewish ancestry, an admirer of bourgeois norms and
       sensibilities, writing at a time when students were educated
       without diversity and equity mandates. The Social History of
       Art, first published in 1951, the product of thirty years of
       labor, opens with eight short chapters on prehistoric, Egyptian,
       and Mesopotamian art, covering less than fifty pages in a
       four-volume book that is close to 1000 pages long. This
       rightfully valued book argues that art became more realistic and
       naturalistic as Europe became less aristocratic and
       hierarchical, more bourgeois, urbane and cosmopolitan. A
       “naturalistic style” actually prevailed through to the end of
       the Paleolithic Age in the way animals were depicted in a
       realistic way, although the art was concerned as well with the
       performance of magical rituals. This naturalistic attitude,
       which was “open to the full range of experience,” gave way in
       the Neolithic Age to a “narrowly geometric stylization” in which
       the “artist tended to shut himself off from the wealth of
       empirical reality.”[/quote]
       The Jew dislikes Aryan art. No surprises here! The above

       [quote]According to William Watson, while the Northern School
       contains "the painters who favour clear, emphatic structure in
       their compositions, with the use of explicit perspective
       devices", the Southern School "cultivate a more intimate style
       of landscape bathed in cloud and mist, in which pleasing
       calligraphic forms tend to take the place of conventions
       established for the representation of rocks, trees, etc. The
       painter of the Southern School was interested in distant
       effects, but his colleague of the Northern School paid more
       attention to the devices of composition which achieve the
       illusion of recession, and at the same time more attentive to
       close realism of detail. ... some artists hover between the
       two".[3] A more philosophical distinction is that the Southern
       School painters "were thought to have sought the inner realities
       and expressed their own lofty natures" while the Northern
       "painted only the outward appearance of things, the worldly and
       decorative".[4][/quote]
       Back to enemy article:

       disappeared almost entirely behind his work.” Painters and

       acceleration from the Renaissance onwards, led by artists who

       This is why we call them Homo Hubris. Art should not be about

       [quote]The Story of Art, originally published in 1950, is
       currently in its 16th edition. Wikipedia says that “over seven
       million copies” of this book “have been sold, making it the
       best-selling art book of all time.” It “has been translated into
       approximately 30 languages.” Unlike Hauser, who follows a
       Marxist conception of progress in the arts, Gombrich, born in
       Vienna into an assimilated family of Jewish origin, carefully
       rejects the idea of progress, believing that “each gain or
       progress in one direction entails a loss in another, and that
       this subjective progress, in spite of its importance, does not
       correspond to an objective increase in artistic value” (p.
       3).[/quote]

       [quote]The Story of Art is a history of art from the beginnings
       to the present. Gombrich estimates that three chapters, out of
       twenty five, are enough to cover the achievements of primitive
       and nonwestern art. His reason for doing this is simple:
       Western Europe always differed profoundly from the East. In the
       East [artistic] styles lasted for thousands of years, and there
       seemed no reason why they should ever change. The West never
       knew this immobility. It was always restless, groping for new
       solutions and new ideas (p. 131).
       Among European painters there was an “urge to be different,” do
       something new, find a new way to enhance the aesthetic effect of
       the work, convey something different about the world, new life
       experiences along with permanent aspects of human nature. Using
       originality and restless creativity as his central criterion,
       Gombrich could not but pay far less attention to an Eastern
       artistic tradition that remained continuously the same through
       the centuries.[/quote]
       Again, I agree with Gombrich's observations. I merely interpret
       them as evidence of Western inferiority. (That Gombrich
       interprets them as evidence of Western superiority is evidence
       that Jews are Westerners.)
       [quote]He writes about Egypt’s “art of eternity.”
       No one wanted anything different, no one asked him to be
       “original.” On the contrary, he was probably considered the best
       artist who could make his statues most like the admired
       monuments of the past. So it happened that in the course of
       three thousand years or more Egyptian art changed very
       little…[/quote]
       Why should anyone want anything different? It is much more
       respectable to want to live outside of time than within it.
       (This is why I prefer to re-watch old movies/TV shows that I
       watched as a child than watch new ones.)
       [quote]About Chinese and Japanese art, he observes:
       [i]The standards of painting remained very high…but art became
       more and more like a graceful and elaborate game which has lost
       much of its interest as so many of its moves are known.[/quote]
       Gombrich has the same attitude as Musk (and the opposite of
       mine) towards what is boring:
  HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-false-left/progressive-yahwism/msg13288/#msg13288
       [quote]The unspoken assumption underlying his claim is that a
       thing has to be new in order to not be boring. This is a
       progressive assumption, which we disagree with. I find that many
       new things are boring despite being new, whereas many old things
       are not boring despite being old. This is because I am an
       absolutist. Whatever is boring will always continue to be
       boring, and whatever is not boring will never become boring.
       Whether or not something is boring to me is determined by the
       quality of the thing itself, and unrelated to how familiar I am
       with it. Musk, in contrast, lacks such perception. To him, what
       is boring is anything that he has become too familiar with.
       Thus someone like Musk can never be satisfied, because
       everything that exists at any point in time will become boring
       to him eventually, whereupon he will desire even more
       innovation, over and over again without end. In contrast,
       someone like me can be satisfied forever simply by successfully
       finding the quality I seek.
       In short, Musk worships Yahweh whereas I worship God.[/quote]
       Gombrich, being a Jew, obviously worships Yahweh. Duh!
       Back to enemy article:
       [quote]Clark’s book, as he says in the Foreword, “is made up of
       the scripts of a series of television programmes given in the
       spring of 1969.” The series, produced by the BBC under the same
       name as the book’s title, consisted of thirteen programmes, each
       fifty minutes long, singularly focused on European art from the
       end of the Dark Ages to the early twentieth century.
       ...
       Civilisation is a joy to read for its high minded learning and
       its enthusiastic appreciation of the sublime originality of
       Western art in its incessant striving for new forms of aesthetic
       perfection. Other civilizations remained content with reenacting
       the perfection they had achieved in the past. The West was
       different:
       The great, indeed the unique, merit of European Civilisation has
       been that it has never ceased to develop and change. It has not
       been based on a stationary perfection, but on ideas and
       inspiration[/quote]
       Which sounds more like what perfection is supposed to be: a)
       something that the attainer will never again want to depart from
       after attaining it; or b) something that the attainer feels the
       need to move on from as soon as it is attained?
       Oh, I forgot we are talking to Homo Hubris.
       [quote]Much of Chinese “art,” it should be said, consisted of
       bronze casting, ceramics, and jade carving. This “art” was
       highly sophisticated in technique and decoration, but I hesitate
       to call it art. It should be categorized as applied art, the
       work of highly skilled craftsmen. As H.W. Janson writes,
       “originality is what distinguishes art from craft.”[/quote]
       Sincerity is what distinguishes art from showboating.
       [quote]think about Leonardo da Vinci’s remark about the

       Our enemies explain how "whites" are the best at Yahwism:

       ...
       Dawkins pays graceful tribute to Hamilton and describes
       Hamilton’s “mathematical theory” showing how “an animal (or
       plant) that takes steps to send at least some of its offspring a
       long way away will spread more of its genes, in the long run,
       than a rival that drops all of its offspring right next door to
       the parent.” (p. 206) This is true, Hamilton showed, “even if
       ‘right next door’ is (at present) the best place in the world
       and ‘a long way away’ is on average worse.” That idea is only
       one of what Dawkins rightly calls Hamilton’s “brilliant
       contributions to Darwinian theory,” but it sheds light on the
       central theme of the book: flight in all its forms. Flights of
       Fancy is about the conquest of the air, whether accomplished by
       birds, bats, bees or Blanchard’s balloons. Jean-Pierre Blanchard
       (1753–1806) was a pioneering French inventor who made the “first
       balloon crossing of the English Channel” in 1785. En route, he
       and his American companion “were obliged to jettison everything
       in their beautiful boat-shaped car, including even their own
       clothes.” (p. 179)
       ...
       one thing is very clear from the history of mankind’s conquest
       of the air. Flight is White and aviation is a creation of the
       stale pale nation. In other words, it was European Whites who
       invented or perfected all the amazing ways in which human beings
       can imitate birds and take to the air. The airplane, the
       helicopter, the rocket, the balloon, the glider, the jet-pack
       and more — all of these are the product of White ingenuity and
       effort. And also of White audacity. Many White men have died or
       been horribly injured in the quest to conquer the air, just as
       many White men have died or been horribly injured in the quest
       to conquer mountains like Everest and the Eiger.
       The Whiteness of Flight
       In essence, flight and mountaineering are the same quest — a
       Faustian quest to ascend, overcome and go beyond the boundaries
       imposed on mankind by nature.[/quote]
       Wrong! Flight is a quest to follow nature beyond the boundaries
       imposed on it by gravity, as you yourself quoted Hamilton
       explaining earlier in your own article! Gravity is not nature.
       Natural selection is nature.
       True defiance of nature would be stopping Hamiltonism (which is
       an aspect of Yahwism). Which is what we are trying to do. If
       "whites" are the most Hamiltonist among humans, they must be the
       first to be prohibited from reproducing if anti-Hamiltonism is
       to succeed, preferably before Hamiltonism reaches the extent of
       enabling settlement of outer space.
       [quote]There was hubris in the early attempts on the air and
       Nemesis often punished that hubris. But now flight is one of the
       safest forms of transport and human beings can cross the
       Atlantic with less risk than they cross a city-street. We owe
       all of that to White men like Jean-Pierre Blanchard and the
       Wright Brothers.
       ...
       Human races are not all equal and Whites have achieved
       exceptional things. Aviation is one soaring example: it’s a true
       creation of the pale stale nation.
       ...
       From the Montgolfier Brothers to the Moon-landings and beyond,
       Flight has been White.
       And so has the understanding of flight in all its forms, as
       Dawkins’ book describes. White scientists have elucidated the
       physics of flight and explained how flight has evolved again and
       again among animals and plants. It’s a fascinating story
       excellently told in Flights of Fancy by the words of Richard
       Dawkins and the pictures of Jana Lenzová. That’s why I enjoyed
       the book so much. And I couldn’t help contrasting Flights of
       Fancy with another book that has recently made a strong
       impression on me. The other book is very different in content
       and style.
       ...
       Black British Lives Matter is full of similar proclamations of
       Black suffering and White villainy. It’s a self-righteous and
       self-obsessed book. That’s part of why it’s also an ugly book.
       Another part of its ugliness is the poor quality of its prose
       and its reasoning. That’s why I found it such a contrast with
       Flights of Fancy, which is a beautiful book, well-written,
       well-reasoned, and well-illustrated, and most certainly not
       self-obsessed. As I noted above, Whites like Richard Dawkins are
       interested in birds, bats, bees, balloons and lots of other
       things starting with “B.” Blacks, by contrast, are interested in
       only one thing starting with “B,” namely, Blacks. In other
       words, Whites are exotropic, directed towards what’s outside
       themselves. Blacks are endotropic, directed towards themselves
       and their own concerns. That’s why Whites have been inventors,
       innovators and explorers of the Universe. And why Blacks have
       been none of those things.[/quote]
       Examples of exotropic "whites" interested in birds:

       And Hitler, muslims, and other people of "non-white" communities
       are same like "blacks", they have been none of those things but
       being victim of "Whites"'s material inventions and universal
       explorations.
       What are Hitler invention to this world? Only destroying the
       entire Europe and Western Civilization, but that's a good thing.
       We the victim of Western [s]Civilization[/s] Barbarism never
       regret to praise Hitler.
       Sometime destroying things is a good thing you know.
       Islamic Khulafaur Rashidun and Ottoman Caliphate also not
       inventing anything but destroying anything in Europe, the land
       and people whom considered by the world of the "sources of
       invention and modernity", but to us the victim of colonialism
       that's an achievement, not a barbarism. We suffering,
       complaining, and try to seek revenge because you the Europeans
       not want to care to our plea. The only solution today is total
       eradication of Western Civilization and it's creatures. I'm even
